After decades of taking care of other people, a
nurse suddenly wakes up one morning and can
barely walk. Terrified and alone, she struggles to
find the cause of her symptoms. After six weeks... More > of
frustrating visits to uncaring and distant medical
professionals punctuated by a series of painful tests
and worsening symptoms, she is almost relieved to
learn that she has a lesion on her spinal cord. At
least she finally knows what's wrong with her! But
the surgery that was supposed to cure her leaves
her arms paralyzed and her legs so weak she needs
to use a walker.
Told with humor and compassion, this true story is
both an indictment of the medical professions and
a reminder to all of us to see the person inside of
the patient.< Less
